Macau | The best photo spots to avoid the crowds are here
2️⃣3️⃣: Near the hotel under the big clock, many sisters take beautiful pictures at night, but I think sunset shots are also good👌
4️⃣: Walk from the Grand Lisboa to the Ruins of St. Paul's, there is a traffic light🚥 right here!
5️⃣6️⃣: The higher the steps on the side of the Ruins of St. Paul's, the better, and the fewer people, the better to climb up from below😂 I took my photo in the middle and it turned out pretty well without capturing people!
7️⃣: On the left side of the Ruins of St. Paul's, there is a slope going down to a small alley, stand on the steps, and have your helper stand below⬇️ for a perfect panorama

The iconic Ruins of St Paul. Crowd of tourist visits here. The place was good however it was so crowded because of many tourists coming there. If you want to have a good photo I suggest going there earlier.
The place is free entry and free to visit; a ruins with rich history dating back to a few hundred years ago.
Still worth a visit if you would like a glimpse of some historical landmark while clocking some attractions in Macau.

DiscoveringDiscoveries
Life Advice! One must definitely capture these 5 spots when in Macau!
As someone who suffers from severe photo-taking embarrassment,
I surprisingly received a lot of compliments from friends on the photos I took in Macau this time!
I've summarized the photo-taking formula for going out as
Natural + Atmospheric + Don't focus on the face!
With a nice filter, taking good photos really becomes easier!
1️⃣ Ruins of St. Paul's
Ruins of St. Paul's Archway
The iconic Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau, to avoid a crowded shot, you must go at night! Find the steps and flowerbeds at the Ruins of St. Paul's, place the camera low and shoot from above, casually play with your phone or enjoy the scenery, the photos will turn out super natural and beautiful.
2️⃣ Grand Lisboa
Grand Lisboa Hotel
If you're staying on Macau Island, don't miss this spot! It's just a little way inside the alley next to the 7-11 opposite the Grand Emperor Hotel, and you can see the Grand Lisboa. Stand by the roadside looking at or away from the camera, the atmosphere is super strong! I took photos here during the day and at night, and personally, I prefer the night shot.
3️⃣ Eiffel Tower at The Parisian
The best spot is in the park next to The Londoner! The green lawn is really beautiful, and if you're like me with not much expressiveness, just walk back and forth in front of the Eiffel Tower and have a friend snap photos, the more exaggerated the live action, the better.
4️⃣ Wynn Palace
I really love the fountain and cable car at Wynn Palace, and they are super easy to photograph, but there are also super many people!!! My photo-taking embarrassment kicked in instantly... You can find a spot that is slightly facing the hotel, wait for a cable car to pass by, and then face slightly towards the camera, it would be even more beautiful with the fountain (which I didn't wait for 😭).
5️⃣ Macau Museum
Macau Museum
Sisters heading to the fort can mark this spot! The white walls of the Macau Museum are really photogenic, and I think it looks better on rainy days than sunny days, the retro vibe of Macau Island and a black umbrella🌂 are a perfect match!
CADEN RIOS
If you are going to Macau for the first time, you must go to these must-play list!

Coming to Macau is the real city work! Can't stop walking
Macau Peninsula Old Town
We smoothly entered the border from Hengqin Port at eight o'clock, it's not a weekend or a holiday, so there are very few people! We took a taxi directly from the port to the Ruins of St. Paul for 100💰
🏃♀️The itinerary is as follows
1. The Ruins of St. Paul has a manageable crowd around nine o'clock, and you need to queue for the wall overhead shooting position👭
2. To be honest, the Big Cannon Fort is not very interesting, it's just a small park, just walked around next to the Ruins of St. Paul~
3. There is a long, long slope coming out of the Big Cannon Fort, I think this road is quite suitable for walking and taking pictures, very characteristic of Macau!
4. Eat beef offal on Da Tang Lane Beef Offal Street, completely blind bought a shop called Xiang Ji Beef Offal, very delicious! I don't have a heavy taste, so I really like this one, this one is quite clean, the selling aunt is also very enthusiastic, added fish balls 35💰
5. Love Lane, Feng Tang New Street, the small houses in these two places are all colored🌈, the photos are very good, must go!!
6. Rose Virgin Mary Church, because I was wearing a short skirt that day, I didn't go inside, the outside looks like a beautiful Baroque building, take pictures⛪️
7. Dong Wang Yang New Street, National Geographic same style check-in position, experience the collision of luxury and market, seeing it with your own eyes will really feel shocked🇲🇴
8. Fisherman's Wharf, go to see the sunset in the evening when the weather is good, the light and shadow are sprinkled on the ancient Roman Colosseum and marble columns, sitting quietly for a while can soothe the fatigue of a day's walk🍹
There are various good shops to visit and eat along the way, continue writing in the next chapter!

December 2023 trip to Macau
1️⃣ Macau is very small, you can take the hotel's free shuttle bus for the whole journey. The shuttle bus + walking can reach all the attractions.
2️⃣ Many small shops can't break 1000 MOP, but it can be broken down in large restaurants and hotels. So it's better to exchange for smaller denominations of money. Some shops also accept Alipay and WeChat payments.
3️⃣ If you can't find the way, ask the locals, they are very enthusiastic.
4️⃣ The local dim sum restaurants where locals eat a lot are quite good. Ordering their specialty signature dishes will not go wrong.

The Admirable Ruins of St. Paul in Macau ☺️
Ruins of St. Paul is one of Macao's famous landmarks. It is one the most visited tourist sites in Macao and it is really indeed fascinating in person. There's nothing much to see here, however the Ruins itself is still worth a visit. If you are coming to Macao, why not have a glimpse of the Ruins of St. Paul. I think you would love this as much as I did.
When we visited the place, the weather was perfect but it was really full of people, so it was kind of hard to get a good picture of yourself standing in front of the Ruins. Neverthless, we had such a good time here and hope you too when you visit the place.

The Ruins of St. Paul and Macau street
As you approach the site, The Ruins of St. Paul, the grandeur and magnificence of the remaining facade instantly captivate your attention. It's truly awe-inspiring to see how this 17th-century Portuguese church has withstood the test of time, despite the ravages of fire and typhoons. The intricate carvings, elaborate stone statues, and detailed reliefs are a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.
Climbing up the steps towards the ruins, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and curiosity about the stories that lie within these ancient walls. I was not disappointed. The Museum of Sacred Art and Crypt, located at the back of the ruins, offers a fascinating collection of religious artifacts and artifacts from the church's past. It provides a glimpse into Macau's religious heritage and the influence of the Catholic Church in shaping the city's identity.
After exploring the ruins, I decided to take a leisurely stroll along Macau Street. This charming street is lined with vibrant shops, bustling markets, and mouth-watering street food stalls. The blend of East and West is evident in the architecture, as traditional Chinese buildings stand beside Portuguese-style structures, creating a unique and picturesque atmosphere.

😍 MYSTICAL Ruins of St. Paul 🇲🇴
#summerbreak
IMO, the BEST short SUMMER BREAK for HKers! Seeing the ruins of St. Paul is like stepping back in time and unraveling the mysteries of the past!
The architecture is portuguese style but located in Macau and these ancient remains hold tales of grandeur and resilience! 💝
As you approach, the weathered stone walls rise before you, whispering stories of centuries gone by. The intricate details, despite the passage of time, still hint at the splendor that once adorned this place of worship. Explore the remnants of the church, walk the worn pathways, and imagine the echoes of prayers that once filled the air. St. Paul's Ruins is a majestic reminder of the enduring spirit and the rich historical tapestry that weaves through our world.

Must Visit Historical Ruins of St. Paul
#wecreate
The Ruins of St. Paul's carries a significant historical importance for Macau. Originally built in the early 17th century by the Jesuits, the church was a symbol of Christianity's presence in East Asia. However, a fire destroyed the structure in 1835, leaving only the intricately carved granite facade standing. Despite its partial destruction, the Ruins of St. Paul's became a powerful symbol of Macau's resilience and enduring cultural heritage. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and serves as a reminder of the city's rich colonial history and the harmonious coexistence of Eastern and Western cultures.
The facade of the Ruins of St. Paul's is a remarkable example of intricate stone craftsmanship. Elaborate carvings and statues adorn the grand staircase, depicting religious figures, biblical scenes, and oriental motifs. The fusion of Western architectural styles, such as the baroque and renaissance influences, with traditional Chinese craftsmanship creates a captivating visual spectacle. The intricate details, including floral patterns and delicate reliefs, showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the artisans who worked on this grand structure. The facade's grandeur and elegance draw visitors into the historical narrative and cultural richness of Macau.

Macau day trip
On my fifth visit to Macau, I found that the tourism industry here seems to have fully recovered to the level of 2019, and it is very lively.
Yesterday morning, I passed through the Zhuhai Hengqin Port very smoothly and easily. All I needed to do was to fill in the entry information at a lower level, and in just a few minutes, I arrived in Macau.
We first went to the Kowloon Village and found that it was a very picturesque place. The buildings are mainly in yellow tones and it is one of the relatively intact villages in Macau. The J Hall is very distinctive, especially the corridor at the entrance, which gives a sense of time and space travel.
After having lunch, I went to the most famous world heritage site in Macau, the Ruins of St. Paul's, and found that there were many people, especially on the food street below, which was crowded with tourists, many of whom were from Guangdong and some from Northeast China.
On the food street, there are many Macau specialties and souvenirs, such as beef jerky, pork jerky, almond cookies, egg tarts, and more. The staff in the shops warmly invite passersby to try them.
Turn right after passing through the food street and you will arrive at Rose Hall, a very spectacular building. Enter from the left and exit from the right. It is reminded to take off your hat when entering and not to speak inside.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day, so I went to Love Lane to take photos. I found many young couples taking pictures there, and some groups of two girls also came to take photos. If you walk up to the top step, you can take a photo of the Ruins of St. Paul's.
Compared to two years ago, I found that the tourism industry in Macau has completely recovered during this visit. There are many tourists and it is very lively, with bustling crowds everywhere.

One day, walk 20,000 steps! These Portuguese-style streets in Macau are worth it.
Although Huang Tai has been to Macau many times
But it can't stop my passion for shooting in the historic old town!
.
Arrive at Zhuhai Wanzi Pier at 8:30 in the morning.
From here, it only takes a boat ride of over ten minutes to reach Macau.
Very convenient!
Macau is actually very small.
On one side is the dazzling prosperity of the city.
On one side is the old city street with the scent of fireworks.
Every time we like to take a walk to visit the historic old town area.
You can occasionally discover many hidden corners and streets.
.
📍The journey of extreme walking begins as soon as you leave the checkpoint.
Inner Harbour Ferry Terminal 👉 Avenida Almirante Lacerda 👉 Our Lady of Penha Church 👉 Love Lane 👉 Ruins of St. Paul's 👉 Rua da Tercena 👉 Grand Lisboa Palace
.
❗️Tips: There are a lot of tourists in Macau recently, so if you want to take photos of empty spaces, be sure to get up early!!!

Ruins of St Paul's in Macau
Ruins of St Paul's is the most iconic landmark in Macau. The original church was made of wood and damaged by fire in 1835. Now it left only the granite facade and the staircase. It is an important architectural structure to evidence the spread of Catholicism in the Far East. There are Asian influences on the ruins. Such as the Chinese guardian lion statue which is believed to have mystic protective powers can be found on the structure. There was also a Chinese temple adjacent to it. Along the way to the ruins, you will pass by a busy street with many vendors selling local biscuits, snacks and souvenirs.

Today is the day for a crazy walk in Macau, and the Greater Bay Area that has been cloudy for a week is finally sunny! Crying...
Hurry up and check in at some landmark buildings! The people at the Fisherman's Wharf are really scarce and the scenery is amazing!
Speaking of which, there are too many people in Macau. I couldn't even book a room, it's ridiculous!

Finally!
Fresh start to new beginning! Finally we can go out to Macau or even other countries now after 3 years staying in Mainland!
Traveling to Macau via Gongbei port many things changed like you don’t need to fill out any forms to exit Mainland and to enter Macau. Mainland have special lines for foreigners and Macau line you need to go to Visa section.
Another new things about Macau they do accept Alipay payments however it’s only for Chinese nationals not for foreigners so better change your money to Macau dollars also bugging me you can’t withdraw money in ATM in Macau you need ID card. so better have RMB cash before exiting.
So New Year! New Fun!
